public transportation because it guarantees revenue. people will be deter fro deterrm taking public transportation if it's not safe. there's more than one ugly incident occurring in public transportation. that's one thing. i'd like to make a radical proposal. that is, that the security system be expanded to include violators of vehicles on the sidewalk. they could work and random basis and they could be assigned to randomly. it may only take one person, but that would deter people from riding on the sidewalk because they could be cited. and basically, there has to be safety around public transit stations and also on the sidewalk. now the police have a different priority. m.t.a. right now has a different priority. i know the bicycle coalition will throw a hissy fit but at the same time, people have to be safe on the sidewalks. and i would like to see the security services expanded for this. otherwise, i completely agree with what is proposed. we really need a safe public transportation system. >> thank you. any additional public commente

your transportation planner with the transportation authority. happy to present this item today. so for background, the lifeline transportation program focuses on projects that serve communities of concern. and that address transportation gaps and barriers. in july of 2018, m.t.c. approved $600,000 of a $1 million set-aside for l.t.p. projects identified through a participatory budgeting pilot as part of the bayview or community-based plan. assess components that applicable and scalable at a regional level. only transit operators are eligible to apply through the 20% local match requirement. and the total budget was $750,000. as a congestion management agency, the transportation authority is responsible for approving the final program of projects. the board was based on the bayview c.t.p. and the participatory budgeting efforts in october, as part of the supmental prop k. to fund the larger ctpt investment plans, $2.5 million in traffic fund was in fiscal '20, and '21 and '22. as required by m.t.c. guideline, sfmta established a steering committee, which developed and adopted a p

years on the transportation authority. as well as your years supporting your boss', previously on the authority. your work this past few years has been very reflective of your commitment to sustainable transportation and safe streets. not only in your district, but citywide. we have a nice sort of framed graphic here, that captures you working with kids on safe streets and safe routes to school. i think it was walk to school day and we have a bike to work railroad day photo with many of your colleagues at city hall. you were always very enthusiastic and strong advocate and continue to be. including most recently in the neighborhood around hayes alley and octavia boulevard for these types of improvements, as well as the graphic down here that celebrates. we really want to express our appreciation to you for the hard work of you and your staff to improve transportation in the city. in particular it's been a pleasure working with derek from your staff as well as the whole office. so best wishes to you and thank you again.

the detroit windsor tunnel transports mostly people. tunnel transports only great. it can be anything from iphones to baby food. you name it. if it is made in america, it goes through that tunnel come up to get is not hazardous or explosive. is not hazardous or exposed. the detroit river was the busiest freshwater shipping channel in the world. it still is today. through our train tunnel land abbasid or bridge, things are transported throughout the entire world. map show on a freighter everywhere that michigan product have made it around the world. there is not a continent we do not touch. the ambassador bridge this completed november 15, 1929. when it opens, it is the longest suspension bridge in the world and it holds that record for just about four months before it is taken. with the ambassador bridges completed, it is known for its height. it allows shipments of greater -- freighter traffic, as opposed to a drawbridge which would stop river traffic, and commuter traffic every time it had to open or close. the bridge was completed by one man, and is not municipal

the executive order called on the transportation agency under the new secretary to align transportation funding with state climate and environmental goals and the way they draft of the executive order, the reference to $5 billion, you know, it drew a lot of attention and i think there is a lot of fear or concern that they were saying take sp1 which generates about 5 million a year and dedicate that to climate change. it was more generically intended. i think we will see the secretary as he gets his arms around this challenge or this executive order requirement. we will see him perform a stakeholder group. i met with secretary kim on this last friday to cover a couple of issues. one of the issues we talked about is the fact that he intends to move forward with a broad-based stakeholder group to help him guide the state in its effort to meet the challenge of that executive order. finally, i just want to highlight i believe staff discussed this item with you last month. this is the issue of a regional san francisco bay area, funding authorization. senator bell has been carrying sb 278, it

to the transportation authority board. and we look forward to working with you and your staff not only on district five issues c.a.q. but on citywide issues and regional transportation issues. now that i have acknowledged commissioner preston c.a.q. i want to have him participate in his first official act. is there a motion to excuse commissioner haney? would you like to raise your hand and make that motion? >> i would. >> is there a second for that motion? as much as this will upset our attorney c.a.q. we will take that without objection without a roll call vote. commissioner haney is excused. welcome to commissioner walton and before i make the chair's comments c.a.q. i would like to afford commissioner preston a moment to say a few words on his first day in his first official meeting as an elected official. the floor is yours. >> thank you, mr. chair. it is an honor and a privilege to be sworn in last night and to serve on this commission and especially as a 26 year every day munimobile rider. i have a lot of thoughts a

for more information you can visit the transportation authority website. i would like to thank staff who have visited treasure island at various times this year. to meet and do outreach to residents and stakeholders. they did a great presentation. as always, i encourage my colleagues to visit the island and get a feel for how it is being transformed. that is the end of my cherry part. is there any public comments on the report? seeing then. we please call the next item. >> item three, executive directors report. >> thank you. i just wanted to build upon earlier reference i made regarding caltrans and director visit to treasure island that was the transportation authority. i will read it again, it was an honor to be the new caltrans directors first stop in the. we met together with commissioner linda richardson as well as district 4 staff to provide an overview of all of the different sustainability features of the new development and all of the work that is happening on the island with transportation choices. we have been partnering successfully with caltr

and the muni transport assistance program or mtap coming out of the bayview transportation planning process. members were very supportive of the transit assistance and the mtap, given the vital role they play in deescalating and providing a safe environment for the riders. funding associated with this item will go toward allowing mtap to increase the transit assistance presence on bayview lines during their working hours. members approved the item both because of the worthwhile program itself and its prioritization through the participatory budgeting process in the community. and hope the lifeline transportation grant helping to fund the initiative will identify sustainable future funding sources. the c.a.c. was also presented the 2019 san francisco congestion management program. the data and metrics used to inform the congestion management program or c.m.p. were of particular interest to the c.a.c. members. one member was interested to know whether the data could be use for other projects and evaluations. staff noted that data had been used already to support the freeway corridor managemen

over 25 years of experience of improving transportation in cities.recently the interim director at the oakland department of transportation, where he laid the foundation for the agency's future success with a lens on environmental benefits and equality. i believe jeffry will do the same at s.f. m.t.a. throughout his career, he has been known for bringing a visionary perspective on transportation in cities and helping to implement innovative ideas that are desperately needed. he will be joining the city as a long-time resident of noey valley and will be the first lgbtq director in s.f.'s history. i look forward to working with jeffry to help us deliver a great transportation system in san francisco, and i want to thank the board, including the president of the board who is here today, malcolm heinikie and gweneth borden, thank you for your leadership and coordinating the interview process and everything that you did, to make sure that we found the best person possible to do the job to make our public transportation and infrastructure and all that we n

, not the right to carry. >> transporting is a kind of caring. you take your gun and that goes with you someplace. that's a kind of carrying. >> i will agree with that. it's also a kind of bearing which is why i think it's such a straightforward case. >> on asking is, is there is a premises scheme indicating scheme, and your clients want to carry would suggest you should have brought a challenge to the caring scheme if you thought that that was efficient. >> again, my clients for years, at least two of the three, had what the city for a while called a target license and it didn't give them a full right to carry but it did give them the right to transfer their firearms to new jersey and other places, probably would've allowed a second home, though i'm not sure that issue is squarely presented. my clients did not insist on getting a cary license either before this lawsuit was filed or in this lawsuit. what they wanted is to restore rights to transport their firearms between and among places where they could be lawfully use. that's different from a

transport them sitting in a wheelchair.so for example, it's not a van where you can be transported sitting in your wheelchair, but if you have the ability to be transported where we would help assist the person in a wheelchair to get into the car, we could fold up their wheelchair, put it in the trunk, transport them, and then put them back in. currently, we don't have the ability to transport somebody who must ride in a van in their wheelchair. >> well, again, this is not my area of expertise, but as someone who observes wheelchair access in the community, a lot of the problem includes the fact whether the wheelchair can be accommodated in a vehicle and securely to meet, you know, the safety requirements, but also access to that vehicle. and sometimes if vans have steps and all that, a person who is wheelchair bound may not be able to -- so unless you're saying the benefit would not include a hoist to lift the benefit up in the chair to be safely seated, i'm still confused about the gap. it's one thing to transport the whe

they wanted the right to transport, not the right to carry. >> transporting is a kind of carrying.your gun and it goes with you someplace. that's the kind of carrying. i think it's also a bearing which i think this is such a straightforward case. let's all i'm asking is, there's a premises scam in the carrying scam and your clients want to carry, which suggests you should've brought a challenge to the carrying scam. if you thought that was deficient. >> with respect higgins, my clients for years at least two of the three had with the city for a while called target license. it didn't give them a full right to carry but it did give them the right to transport their firearms to new jersey and other places probably would've allowed him second home though i'm not sure the issue squarely presented. my clients did not insist on getting a carry license either under the before this lawsuit was filed or in this lawsuit. what they want is to rule is to restore right, transport firearms between and among places where they can be lawfully used. that's different from a license that says i get to

it's more difficult to tackle with transportation. so i'm back on track with my script with the transit first policy. we got to get people out of single occupancy vehicles and into public transportation, into bikes, walking to sustain. we had a goal of all 50 percent of the trips in san francisco are done sustainbly. we'll reach that two years in advance. so we have increased that goal to 80 percent by 2040. so going down deeper into the transportation sector, you can see why the work of the e.v. working group is so important. cars a

transport. justice ginsberg: as far as what you said about enforcing past violations, no plaintiff has alleged that they ever violated the regulations when they were in effect. >> that's actually not correct justice ginsburg. if you look at paragraphs 12, 15, 17 of the complaint pages 28 and 29 of the joint appendix, all three of the individual petitioners alleged they regularly went outside the city of new york for firing ranges outside westchester and new jersey. all three of my clients are on the record as saying that in the past they engaged in conduct that is inconsistent with the transport ban. if you understand the way that the city of new york licenses handguns. justice sotomayor: i believe that the city has foresworn any future prosecution for past violations. i thought that that's the representation they made to this court. >> in their latest letter they were very careful about what they represented. they represented that they wouldn't try to prosecute somebody from past conduct if the

up zoning directly tied to transportation services could have a chilling effect on transportation enhancements in places where people do not want to development. this could decrease public demand to upgrade transit services to avoid s.p. 50 up zoning. true transit-oriented development should account for impacts on transit. it should expand transit and not reduce it and it should improve transit service, not potentially make it worse. transportation authorities should be concerned and take action on development bills that impact and are directly tied to our work. as a body, we need to stand firm on opposing a bill that undermines our community transportation plan unless and until our concerns are addressed with amendments and/or companion legislation. this resolution calls for a new funding for community-based planning to evaluate transportation needs resulting from will 50. new funding for local jurisdictions to deliver additional transportation infrastructure needed to support the housing development enabled under bill 50. and limited ceqa exemptions for public transportation projects so that

we promote bicycles for everyday transportation of the coalition.encia is our mission -- fits our mission perfectly. our members fall 20 years ago to get the first bike lane stripes. whether you are going there for restaurants, nightlife, you know , people are commuting up and down every single day. >> i have been biking down the valencia street corridor for about a decade. during that time, i have seen the emergence of ridesharing companies. >> we have people on bikes, we have people on bike share, scooters, we have people delivering food and we have uber taking folks to concerts at night. one of the main goals of the project was to improve the overall safety of the corridor, will also looking for opportunities to upgrade the bikeway. >> the most common collision that happens on valencia is actually due to double parking in the bike lane, specifically during, which is where a driver opens the door unexpectedly. >> we kept all the passengers -- the passenger levels out, which is the white crib that we see, we double the amount of commercial curbs th

so tim what is a hyperloop loop is what we call the 5th mode of transportation the future of transportation it's actually a sort of train that you put inside it you release the air in order to create a near thank you so that you don't have much air resistance and it's magnetically left dating so it floats around trick in order to reach to diminish the rolling resistance and that's when you can create very high speeds and be fairly high energy efficiency so this this thing here floats how does how does it float where does it flow over here you see the magnets and right now there are no magnets inside it yet but there's. a race and a very strong magnets but the good thing about a race is that the magnetic force is going to the. down side sort of passenger and the upper hand doesn't notice that it's magnetic so you're going to feel like you're floating exactly. whole bucker rays are specific arrangements of a series of magnets to provide a stronger more unified magnetic field. or a on the truck repels the magnets on the train which makes the train appear to float on the electric motor propels

when you look into the future, what does the future of transportation look like?we can bring it together. i believe we can have that singular app where, every morning when you wake up, any way that you want to get from point a to point b, we can give you the information that is relevant to you with live pricing, inventory, etc. we now have mass transit in the app, so we're going to tell you mass transit you can take, subway, you can take a bus, you can take an uber, a pool, and if it is a long enough trip, you can take an elevate, as well. we are uniquely positioned to have all that information together, and we can do the same thing for transportation, we can do the same thing for local commerce, and with eats restaurants, it is only the beginning, and we can do the same thing for logistics. no other company in the world is positioned to solve local transportation, local commerce, and logistics as well, and i think we're in a spearhead position to do so. emily: where's uber in five years, 10 years? dara: with so much innovation and so much change going on, that i

it's more difficult to tackle with transportation. so i'm back on track with my script with the transit first policy. we got to get people out of single occupancy vehicles and into public transportation, into bikes, walking to sustain. we had a goal of all 50 percent of the trips in san francisco are done sustainbly. we'll reach that two years in advance. so we have increased that goal to 80 percent by 2040. so going down deeper into the transportation sector, you can see why the work of the e.v. working group is so important. cars and trucks produce 70 percent of the emissions from the transportation sector. 92 percent of all on-land equipment. so bringing down emissions from that sector is a priority. so in developing the e.v. road map, the electric vehicle working group formed a subcommittee of city departments and a group of stakeholders that consist of state and regional agency, community members. they collaborated to develop the e.v. road map. the road map has a vision. and also two interim goals to ensure quickly reducing emiss

code changes and the division ii transportation code changes. i mentioned that this is a phased process. there are many existing elements of our mobility programs that we want to look at as part of a whole. what has happened over the past few years as you very well know new services, new mobility services have cropped up on city streets. mta has been in a reactionary position. taking a look at our permit programs and look for areas of a better alignment and make sure that they are coordinated. to bring together the collaborative city approach to thinking through movement of goods and potential regulations. that is a lot of information. i want to bring it back to what we are asking of you today. we have again, two main recommendations that have been approved by the mta board recommending the board of supervisors to expand the parking restrictions previously applicable to bike scare -- bike share and scooter share. and to establish the violation for operating the shared mobility device service without a permit or authorization from the mta. thank
